Video profiles the work of Save the Chimps

There is a long history of exploiting chimpanzees in the United States as unwilling medical research subjects, entertainers or inappropriate household pets. The vision of Save the Chimps is to create a sanctuary where rescued chimpanzees can live out their lives without the threat of ever returning to a laboratory, entertainment, or the pet trade.

This 8-minute video highlights Arcus grantee Save the Chimps' history and work.
